Discourse Communities “a group of people who share

certain language-using practices…The key term discourse suggests a community bound together primarily by its uses of language, although bound perhaps by other ties as well, geographical, socioeconomic, ethic, professional, and so on.” (Bizzell, 1992, p.222)
